Joliet Slammers News Release


(Traverse City, MI)- The Traverse City Beach Bums put their offense on display again on Wednesday at home against the Joliet Slammers in convincing 9-1 victory.

After their 18-1 slugfest win on Tuesday, the Bums lineup kept rolling and scored in the first. Ryan Still led off the inning with a triple, and Brian Heere slapped an RBI single to take the lead. They added three more in the second off run-scoring singles by Marcus Nidiffer and Still, and they tacked on three in the fourth to make it 6-0.

Joliet finally got on the board in the fifth when Eric McGee went yard to pull within five, but that was the closest the Slammers would get.

The Bums went on to score three more in the seventh when Nidiffer launched a three-run homer to give the game its final 9-1 score, and Nidiffer notched his ninth RBI of the series.

Steven Maxwell struggled in the start, surrendering six runs and ten hits through four innings in the loss. Chase Doremus, Brian Smith, Geoff Brown, and Daniel Carela all contributed in relief.

Joliett keeps wraps up their series in Traverse City on Thursday. Fans can listen to the game on AM 1340 WJOL with Aaron Morse calling the action.
